Bean ball: Ishikawa hits fan in head with approach

By

SAN MARTIN, Calif. – Golf offers fans an up-close-and-personal experience with players, and that’s not always a good thing.

Just ask Eric Steinhauer.

Ryo Ishikawa yanked his approach shot on the par-4 eighth in Sunday’s final round at the Frys.com Open and hit Steinhauer in the head. The 69-year-old from Berkeley was treated by EMTs and insisted he was fine. He told medics it was a “glancing blow.”
